Numbering System Overview

Warren County numbers its stations (agencies) and units based on a two character prefix and two character suffix format of "station-unit type". The prefix usually designates the municipality the station is from (e.g. 78=Hackettstown), while the suffix designates the type of unit (e.g. 60=Fire Chief). Thus, 78-60 is the Hackettstown Fire Chief.

Station Prefixes

Note: Not all municipalities have police, fire, and EMS (ambulance) services. Refer to the "Agency Type(s)" column to see which services each municipality provides. Municipalities without police departments are covered by the New Jersey State Police.
